Lyrics & meaning
| ♫ Tanglish lyrics | ↻ English translation |
|---|---|
| Male | |
| Sikki sikki thavikkum manasula | In the heart trapped and suffering |
| Oru patha vacha theeya eriyura | You burn like an ignited fire |
| Vittu vittu thudikkum idhayatha | The heart that beats intermittently |
| Nee thalli vittu pora nerupula | In the fire you push away and leave |
| Male | |
| Kanneerula naan nanaigiraen | I am getting drenched in tears |
| Un mounathil naan udaigiraen | I am shattering in your silence |
| Kann paarvaiyil mull vaikura | You place thorns in your glance |
| Oru baaramaai ennai udaikiraai | You break me like a heavy burden |
| Male | |
| Uyir naadiyaai nee odinaai | You ran like the life pulse |
| Unai thediyae naan vaadinaen | Searching for you, I withered away |
| Uyir thozhiyaai mugam kaattinaai | You showed your face as a soulmate |
| Kai serummun mudivaagiraai | Before reaching my hands, you become the end |
| Male | |
| Eriyum theeyai | Like a burning fire |
| Edhirae vandhaai nee | You came before me |
| Vidiyum paniyaai | Like morning dew |
| Vilagi sendraai | You drifted away |
| Male | |
| Nijamellam kanavendraal | If all reality is just a dream |
| Un nizhalum poidhaano | Is even your shadow a lie? |
| Udal aanaai.. uyir aanaen | You became the body, I became the life |
| Uli aanaai …silai aanaen | You became the chisel, I became the statue |
| Kadal serum nadhi pola, | Like a river joining the sea, |
| Vizhi serndhu vali thandhaai | You joined my eyes and gave pain |
| Male | |
| Kadikaaramaai unnai suttrinaen | I orbited around you like a clock |
| En naatkalaai nee odinaai | You ran as my days |
| Edhirkaalamai kai neetinaen | I reached out my hand towards the future |
| Kai serumun kanavaagiraai. | Before reaching my hands, you become a dream. |
| Male | |
| Sikki sikki thavikkum manasula | In the heart trapped and suffering |
| Oru patha vacha theeya eriyura | You burn like an ignited fire |
| Vittu vittu thudikum idhayatha | The heart that beats intermittently |
| Nee thalli vittu pora nerupula | In the fire you push away and leave |
| Male | |
| Manadhoramaai adhigaaramaai | In the corner of my mind, authoritatively |
| Nerungaamalae nee vaazhgiraai | You live without even coming close |
| Puyal kaalamaai varum sogamaai | Like a storm season coming as sadness |
| Yedhai thediyae nee pogiraai | What are you searching for as you go? |
| Male | |
| Uyir naadiyaai nee odinaai | You ran like the life pulse |
| Unai thediyae naan vaadinaen | Searching for you, I withered away |
| Mudhal kadhalaai mugam kaatinaai | You showed your face as the first love |
| Mugam paarkkum munn mudivaagiraai | Before looking at the face, you come to an end |
| Male | |
| Theeyaai erigiraai idhaythil nee.. | You burn like a fire inside my heart.. |
சிக்கி சிக்கி தவிக்கும் மனசுல
ஒரு பத்த வச்ச தீயா எரியுற
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கும் இதயத்த
நீ தள்ளி விட்டு போற நெருப்புல
In the heart trapped and suffering
You burn like an ignited fire
The heart that beats intermittently
In the fire you push away and leave
கண்ணீருல நான் நனைகிறேன்
உன் மௌனத்தில் நான் உடைகிறேன்
கண் பார்வையில் முள் வைக்குற
ஒரு பாரமாய் என்னை உடைக்கிறாய்
I am getting drenched in tears
I am shattering in your silence
You place thorns in your glance
You break me like a heavy burden
உயிர் நாடியை நீ ஓடினாய்
உன்னை தேடியே நான் வாடினேன்
உயிர் தோழியாய் முகம் காட்டினாய்
காய் சேரும் முன்ன முடிவாகிறாய்
You ran like the life pulse
Searching for you, I withered away
You showed your face as a soulmate
Before reaching my hands, you become the end
எரியும் தீயாய்
எதிரே வந்தாய் நீ
விடியும் பணியாய்
விலகி சென்றாய்
Like a burning fire
You came before me
Like morning dew
You drifted away
நிஜமெல்லாம் கனவென்றால்
உன் நிழலும் பொய்தானோ
உடல் ஆனாய் .. உயிர் ஆனேன்
உளி ஆனாய் ..சிலை ஆனேன்
கடல் சேரும் நதி போல
விழி சேர்ந்து வலி தந்தாய்
If all reality is just a dream
Is even your shadow a lie?
You became the body, I became the life
You became the chisel, I became the statue
Like a river joining the sea,
You joined my eyes and gave pain
கடிகராமாய் உன்னை சுற்றினேன்
என் நாட்களாய் நீ ஓடினாய்
எதிர்காலமாய் கை நீட்டினேன்
கை சேருமுன் கனவாகிறாய்
I orbited around you like a clock
You ran as my days
I reached out my hand towards the future
Before reaching my hands, you become a dream.
சிக்கி சிக்கி தவிக்கும் மனசுல
ஒரு பத்த வச்ச தீயா எரியுற
விட்டு விட்டு துடிக்கும் இதயத்த
நீ தள்ளி விட்டு போற நெருப்புல
In the heart trapped and suffering
You burn like an ignited fire
The heart that beats intermittently
In the fire you push away and leave
மனதோரமாய் அதிகாரமாய்
நெருங்காமலே நீ வாழ்கிறாய்
புயல் காலமாய் வரும் சோகமாய்
எதை தேடியே நீ போகிறாய்
In the corner of my mind, authoritatively
You live without even coming close
Like a storm season coming as sadness
What are you searching for as you go?
உயிர் நாடியை நீ ஓடினாய்
உன்னை தேடியே நான் வாடினேன்
முதல் காதலாய் முகம் காட்டினாய்
முகம் பார்க்கும் முன் முடிவாகிறாய்
You ran like the life pulse
Searching for you, I withered away
You showed your face as the first love
Before looking at the face, you come to an end
தீயாய் எறிகிறாய் இதயத்தில் நீ .
You burn like a fire inside my heart..
Sikki sikki thavikkum manasula
In the heart trapped and suffering
Oru patha vacha theeya eriyura
You burn like an ignited fire
Vittu vittu thudikkum idhayatha
The heart that beats intermittently
Nee thalli vittu pora nerupula
In the fire you push away and leave
Kanneerula naan nanaigiraen
I am getting drenched in tears
Un mounathil naan udaigiraen
I am shattering in your silence
Kann paarvaiyil mull vaikura
You place thorns in your glance
Oru baaramaai ennai udaikiraai
You break me like a heavy burden
Uyir naadiyaai nee odinaai
You ran like the life pulse
Unai thediyae naan vaadinaen
Searching for you, I withered away
Uyir thozhiyaai mugam kaattinaai
You showed your face as a soulmate
Kai serummun mudivaagiraai
Before reaching my hands, you become the end
Eriyum theeyai
Like a burning fire
Edhirae vandhaai nee
You came before me
Vidiyum paniyaai
Like morning dew
Vilagi sendraai
You drifted away
Nijamellam kanavendraal
If all reality is just a dream
Un nizhalum poidhaano
Is even your shadow a lie?
Udal aanaai.. uyir aanaen
You became the body, I became the life
Uli aanaai …silai aanaen
You became the chisel, I became the statue
Kadal serum nadhi pola,
Like a river joining the sea,
Vizhi serndhu vali thandhaai
You joined my eyes and gave pain
Kadikaaramaai unnai suttrinaen
I orbited around you like a clock
En naatkalaai nee odinaai
You ran as my days
Edhirkaalamai kai neetinaen
I reached out my hand towards the future
Kai serumun kanavaagiraai.
Before reaching my hands, you become a dream.
Sikki sikki thavikkum manasula
In the heart trapped and suffering
Oru patha vacha theeya eriyura
You burn like an ignited fire
Vittu vittu thudikum idhayatha
The heart that beats intermittently
Nee thalli vittu pora nerupula
In the fire you push away and leave
Manadhoramaai adhigaaramaai
In the corner of my mind, authoritatively
Nerungaamalae nee vaazhgiraai
You live without even coming close
Puyal kaalamaai varum sogamaai
Like a storm season coming as sadness
Yedhai thediyae nee pogiraai
What are you searching for as you go?
Uyir naadiyaai nee odinaai
You ran like the life pulse
Unai thediyae naan vaadinaen
Searching for you, I withered away
Mudhal kadhalaai mugam kaatinaai
You showed your face as the first love
Mugam paarkkum munn mudivaagiraai
Before looking at the face, you come to an end
Theeyaai erigiraai idhaythil nee..
You burn like a fire inside my heart..
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This poignant track captures the deep emotional torment and heartache of unrequited love and separation. The protagonist expresses how their partner entered their life like a spark and soulmate, only to drift away like morning mist, leaving behind a trail of broken dreams, unbearable silence, and scorching pain. Throughout the song, vivid metaphors of fire, time, rivers, and statues illustrate how deeply intertwined the protagonist's existence was with their beloved, contrasting the tender promises of first love with the sudden agony of abandonment.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Uli aanaai …silai aanaen”
Compares the lover to a chisel (uli) and the speaker to a statue (silai), implying that the lover shaped and carved their identity.
Simile (Upamai)
“Vidiyum paniyaai Vilagi sendraai”
Compares the beloved's sudden departure to morning mist or dew fading away at daylight.
Repetition (Adukku Thodar)
“Sikki sikki thavikkum manasula”
Repetition of words like 'Sikki sikki' and 'Vittu vittu' emphasizes the intensity of emotional entrapment and irregular heartbeat.
Rhyme/Assonance (Monai and Ethirai)
“Udal aanaai.. uyir aanaen / Uli aanaai …silai aanaen”
Initial sound harmony across paired lines creates a rhythmic Tamil poetic structure.
